In this lecture, we describe the basics of what quantum dots are and how they can be applied to thin film photovoltaic technologies. In particular, we examine the unique properties of quantum dot materials and how these properties can be exploited by scientists and engineers to yield low-cost,...

Organic Electronic Devices is a five week course that explores electronic materials that are defined broadly as carbon-based materials that are capable of transporting charge both in liquid-supported systems and in the solid state. Traditionally, two classes of organic electronic...

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices are of great interest due to their promise of providing flexible, lightweight, and inexpensive alternatives to their currently-used inorganic counterparts. However, large-scale implementation of these modules has been hampered due to their relatively low power...
